The correct answer is false. While it is recommended to have a balanced meal that includes foods from different food groups, it is not necessary to have a food from each food group in every meal. MyPlate is a guide that helps individuals make healthy food choices and emphasizes the importance of including a variety of foods from all food groups throughout the day. It is generally recommended to incorporate foods from the five main groups - fruits, vegetables, grains, protein foods, and dairy - into meals and snacks to ensure a well-rounded and nutritious diet.
False. Each meal does not necessarily have to include a food from each food group in MyPlate. MyPlate is a visual representation of a balanced diet, which recommends filling half of your plate with fruits and vegetables, a quarter of your plate with grains, and a quarter of your plate with protein, with a side of dairy or dairy alternatives. While it is beneficial to include foods from each food group throughout the day, it is not necessary to do so with every individual meal.
